Trump accuses Alaska Democrats of fraud over same-name scandal
The Justice Department seeks to block certification if Mary Peltola wins, citing voter confusion from a candidate with the same name as Sen. Dan Sullivan.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump called for Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola to be criminally prosecuted and removed from the ballot after reports revealed her campaign recruited a second Dan J. Sullivan to confuse voters.
- A New York Times report detailed an alleged 'ballot composition' scheme involving Peltola campaign aides and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee recruiting a retired schoolteacher named Dan J. Sullivan to run in the Alaska Senate race.
- Former campaign manager Elisa Rios told The Times that Peltola was aware of the effort, though the campaign denied involvement Wednesday, stating no 'DC politician' threat would deter her platform focus.
- Federal investigators have issued subpoenas, and the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to block certification of the Alaska Senate results if the second Sullivan candidate alters the election outcome.
- With the general election scheduled for next Tuesday, Nov 3, officials report that 46,204 ballots have already been cast across Alaska, with four candidates on the ranked-vote ballot determining Senate control.
